Side-hit embroidery and back arch text on Richardson 112 hats
A side hit is a small embroidered logo on the left or right side panel of the cap. A back arch is text curved across the back panels above the snapback opening. Both are second locations added to a front-panel patch or embroidery order. Battle Born Clothing quotes them per job.
Side-hit embroidery
The side panel on a 112 is narrow and curved. Keep side hits under about 2 in wide and 1 in tall, one or two thread colors, no fine detail. Common uses: a secondary brand mark, a union local number, a sponsor logo, an American flag, a year. Standard placement is the wearer's left side. See how to prep a side-hit logo.
Back arch text
Back arch text curves across the two back panels above the snapback. On a mesh-back 112 we stitch through the mesh onto backing, which works for block text about 0.4 in tall and up. On the twill-back 312 the back is solid fabric and takes finer text. Typical content: company name, city, phone number, website, crew name.
Price
Second locations are quoted per job and added to the per-cap price from the pricing page. Each new side or back design is digitized once at $18.99. A front patch plus a side hit is a common combination for crews.
What to send
- The side-hit or back text artwork as vector, or the exact text and a font name.
- Which side (wearer's left is standard).
- Thread color.
- Whether the front is patch or embroidery, so we schedule both in one hooping sequence.
Questions
Can I do a side hit on both sides?
Yes. Each side is its own location and is quoted separately.
Can the back arch go on a mesh cap?
Yes, on block text at 0.4 in tall or larger. For fine text choose the twill-back Richardson 312.
